摘要： Method, system and computer program product for collaboratively processing a data object in a client-server hierarchy based on meta-information associated with the object. Processing results are indicated by the server that performed the processing as updates to the meta-information associated with the data object. The PICS protocol may be used to communicate the meta-information. Digital signing and authentication of the object and associated meta-information are also described. Further, servers can determine processing by considering various factors, e.g., their current load condition; if the object is to be multicast; if the object can be cached; and/or if the specified cost and time constraints can be met. The overall processing applied to data objects can be divided between servers based on object types, steps, functions, software packages or versions/releases. Other aspects of the invention are also described.

摘要： A push-based filtering of objects in a client-server hierarchy based on usage information. A method of annotating a push object with meta information on its content and/or urgency is also described. Objects can be staged at the server(s) to provide fast access when the filtered object is later requested. The PICS protocol may be used to communicate various types of information: e.g., by the content provider or a higher level proxy to annotate the object, including an urgency, a summary or title, a group classification, and/or an identity of the push; to convey usage or preference information on pushed objects up the hierarchy, including usage information and user preferences based on object group classifications; and to convey a staging status of each staged object down the hierarchy to improve caching efficiency. An object may include a content hierarchy such as a title, a summary and the full content. The filtering process can factor in not only which next (lower) level nodes will receive the push, but also the content level each node will receive. The push filtering decision can be based on aggregate usage information at the lower level proxy or client nodes. A staging decision can be based on the filtering decision, the successful completion of the push to the selected lower level proxies/clients, object usage information and/or a staging decision on other nodes in the hierarchy. An efficient means to purge a staged object is also described.

摘要： A method and apparatus to dynamically maintain META-tag information specifying categorization and/or degree of compound documents, which are collections or hierarchy of collections of objects (possibly web pages), for efficient retrieval of leaf or intermediate objects with specific characteristics without the need to search any content of the collection. The specific characteristic and the contents of the collection can change constantly both qualitatively and quantitatively (including the insertion, deletion and update of objects). While dynamically maintaining the META-tag information, there are no inclusion restrictions on these compound documents, i.e., any collection can contain itself either directly or recursively; and all objects within a META-tagged compound document are not required to participate. The PICS protocol may be used to specify this META-tag information with both categorization and degree; to reflect the obsolescence, currency or freshness of an objects; to validate a given object using a digital signature; and to enable charging for the META-tag service. Aggregation methods are provided to enable maximization, minimization, and averaging; to limit the propagation of META-tags; and to handle the time-out of META-tag and information validity.

摘要翻译： 一种用于动态地维护META标签信息的方法和装置，所述META标签信息指定复合文档的分类和/或程度，所述复合文档是对象（可能的网页）的集合或层次结构，用于有效地检索具有特定特征的叶或中间对象而不需要 搜索集合的任何内容。 集合的具体特征和内容可以在定性和定量上（包括对象的插入，删除和更新）不断变化。 在动态维护META标签信息的同时，对这些复合文档没有包含限制，即任何集合都可以直接或递归地包含它们; 并且META标记的复合文档中的所有对象都不需要参与。 PICS协议可用于指定具有分类和度数的META标签信息; 反映物体的过时，货币或新鲜度; 使用数字签名验证给定对象; 并为META标签服务启用计费。 提供聚合方法以实现最大化，最小化和平均化; 限制META标签的传播; 并处理META标签的超时和信息有效性。

摘要： The present invention relates to a method for creating a meta-document. The method collects at least one hyperlinked document based on a seed document and cross-references the documents within the collection. Cross-referencing includes resolving an anchor and an object, and indexing the resolved anchor and object based on respective locations within a meta-document. The method organizes the collected documents and seed documents. The method also publishes the meta-document including the cross-referenced documents. Preferably, the method of collecting includes accepting the seed document having an anchor pointing to an object, and adding a document containing the object to the collection. In addition, collecting includes the step of manually modifying the collection. The meta-document is a collection of the seed document and the hyperlinked document. Further, the index is one of a footnote, an end note, a table of contents, and an appendix.

摘要： Information is analyzed in the form of a plurality of data values that represent a plurality of objects. A set of features that characterize each object of the plurality of objects is identified. The plurality of data values are stored in a database. Each data value corresponds to at least one of the plurality of objects based on the set of features. Ones of the plurality of data values stored in the database are partitioned into a plurality of clusters. Each cluster of the plurality of clusters is assigned to one respective node of a plurality of nodes arranged in a tree hierarchy. Ones of the plurality of nodes of the tree hierarchy are traversed. If desired, information may be analyzed for finding peer groups in e-commerce applications.
